Synthesis and Properties of Nd-doped TiO2 thin films by sol-gel dip-coating method

TiO2 thin films doped with neodymium(Nd) in the range from 0 at.% to 10at. % were prepared on glass substrates by sol-gel dip-coating method. Water contact angle on the Nd-doped TiO2 films were measured by contact angle analyzer. The water contact angle measurement result showed that the hydrophily...
